Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world's energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the only alternative. However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it's very dangerous. What would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the future generations. The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economical as possible

Hello everyone, today I'd like to tell you some information about types and sources of energy. Energy is classified into two main groups: renewable and non-renewable.The energy generated from natural sources such as the sun, wind, rain, and tides is called renewable energy. They are plentiful and can be generated again and again. They also have low carbon emissions so they are considered green and environment-friendly. Moreover, using renewable energy can reduce your electricity bills. Unfortunately, solar energy can be only used during the daytime but not during night or the rainy season. Geothermal energy also can bring toxic chemicals beneath the earth's surface to the top and can create environmental changes.
Non-renewable energy is the energy taken from other sources that are available on earth.They are limited and will run out in the future. They can't be re-generated in a short time.Fossil fuels - natural gas, oil and coal - are examples of them. They are cheap and easy to use. However, when burnt, they release toxic gases in the air so they cause serious environmental changes such as global warming. And the important thing is that non-renewable sources will expire someday. 2. 1. Use public mode of transportation
Encourage people to use more and more public modes of transportation to reduce pollution. Also, try to make use of carpooling. If you and your colleagues come from the same locality and have same timings you can explore this option to save energy and money.
2. Conserve energySwitch off fans and lights when you are going out. A large number of fossil fuels are burnt to produce electricity. You can save the environment from degradation by reducing the number of fossil fuels to be burned.
3. Understand the concept of Reduce, Reuse and RecycleDo not throw away items that are of no use to you. In-fact reuse them for some other purpose. For e.g. you can use old jars to store cereals or pulses.
4. Emphasis on clean energy resourcesClean energy technologies like solar, wind and geothermal are on high these days. Governments of various countries have been providing grants to consumers who are interested in installing solar panels for their home. This will go a long way to curb air pollution.
5. Use energy efficient devicesCFL lights consume less electricity as against their counterparts. They live longer, consume less electricity, lower electricity bills and also help you to reduce pollution by consuming less energy.
Several attempts are being made worldwide on a personal, industrial and governmental levels to curb the intensity at which air pollution is rising and regain a balance as far as the proportions of the foundation gases are concerned. This is a direct attempt at slacking Global warming. We are seeing a series of innovations and experiments aimed at alternate and unconventional options to reduce pollutants. Air pollution is one of the larger mirrors of man’s follies, and a challenge we need to overcome to see a tomorrow.
3.TYPE OF NATURAL DISATER: Flood
WAYS TO PREPARE:
• – Check for local flood warnings if your area is at risk: look online or call Floodline.
• – Tune in to the local radio or television news for updates. Alert your neighbours, particularly elderly or vulnerable people.
• – Prepare an emergency kit, including emergency numbers, insurance policy, first aid kit, torch and water.
• – Use our home emergency contacts sheet so you have the numbers you need to hand, even if you lose power.
• – Have a list of irreplaceable items to keep safe and put important personal documents into a sealed bag.
• – Pack essential items you will need if evacuated – medication, clothing, toiletries and items for children.
• – Purchase unfilled sandbags and sand from builders’ merchants. Remember that, if there is a flood, demand may exceed supply – as people will rush to buy them.
• – Empty freezers and refrigerators, leaving doors open.
• – If you can, move any vehicles to higher levels.
• – If you have time, take photographs before you leave. This may help later with insurance claims.
• – Turn off the mains power and water, and take mobile phones and chargers with you. Put sandbags in toilet bowls to prevent sewage back-flow.
• – Shut windows, lock doors – and don’t forget to take your pets.

1. Why do we have to start saving natural resources?
Because the world's energy resources are limited
2. What is the most effective thing when we use the world's natural resources?
The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economically as possible.
As we all know, natural resources are wealth, material, available in nature that humans can exploit, process and use to serve human material life. It is an essential component and has a close relationship with the environment. Therefore, every activity that affects natural resources affects the environment, good or bad.
In ancient times, the natural resources that humans knew and used were very limited such as: air to breathe, water to drink, wild animals and plants on land and under water to serve as judgments. . But gradually when people know how to do agriculture, land becomes an important resource. Until there was industry, mineral resources began to be exploited and used vigorously. Obviously, the expansion of natural resource categories depends on the level of human scientific and technical understanding, on the development of society. Humans have produced new materials that partially replace mineral raw materials, humans have been able to use them thoroughly and effectively thanks to scientific progress. It contributes to becoming a special importance to human life: creating people for economic, cultural and social development; create for people the means of living, developing intellect, morality and spirit.
Therefore, the amount of industrial wastes, using chemical fertilizers, fishing with explosives, and hunting of rare animals is increasing more and more. Due to the increasingly developed society, the speed of urbanization, industrialization and socialization has increased. When the environment and natural resources are exploited indiscriminately, the environment will also be polluted, causing ecological imbalance and gradually becoming degraded. Leading to natural disasters, floods, affecting people's living conditions, lives and health.
Thereby, we must constantly strive to protect natural resources: exploit, use reasonably, save natural resources; restoration, regeneration of recoverable natural resources. All acts of destroying, burning forests, encroaching on, encroaching on forests, land, ... are strictly forbidden To comply with the provisions of the law on protection of the environment and natural resources. the protection of the environment and natural resources. Know how to save on natural resources.
Criticism reminds the phenomenon of polluting the environment or reports to the competent authorities to severely punish those who intentionally cause environmental damage.
In short, we must defend natural resources not only because of its importance, but also for protecting our lives.
* Natural resources
Natural resources (fresh water, soil, organisms, etc.) are resources that can continually sustain themselves or replenish themselves when properly managed. However, if used inappropriately, natural resources may be degraded and irreversibly degraded.
For example, water resources can be polluted, land resources can become salty, discolored, eroded, etc.
There are 2 types of natural resources: renewable resources and non-renewable resources.
A non-renewable resource is a type of resource that exists finitely, will lose or change after using it.
For example, a mine's mineral resources can be exhausted after mining. Permanent energy resources (solar energy, wind energy, waves, tides, ...) are used more and more researched, gradually replacing depleted energies and limiting pollution. environment.
*Problems
Natural resources are very rare and precious, so nowadays, there are many countries in the world exploiting natural resources, which is making these resources decrease in number dramatically. crisis, causing extinction of some species, greenhouse effect, axid rain, ...
*Solutions about the protection of natural resources
-Plant many green trees.
-Use natural materials.
-Use clean energy.
-Power saving.
-Reduce the use of plastic bags.
-Save paper.
-Prioritize recycled products
-Using the advancements of science.
